Genes affected

NSD1 (HGNC:14234): (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1) This gene encodes a protein containing a SET domain, 2 LXXLL motifs, 3 nuclear translocation signals (NLSs), 4 plant homeodomain (PHD) finger regions, and a proline-rich region. The encoded protein enhances androgen receptor (AR) transactivation, and this enhancement can be increased further in the presence of other androgen receptor associated coregulators. This protein may act as a nucleus-localized, basic transcriptional factor and also as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator. Mutations of this gene have been associated with Sotos syndrome and Weaver syndrome. One version of childhood acute myeloid leukemia is the result of a cryptic translocation with the breakpoints occurring within nuclear receptor-binding Su-var, enhancer of zeste, and trithorax domain protein 1 on chromosome 5 and nucleoporin, 98-kd on chromosome 11. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1700*) in the NSD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NSD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12464997, 14571271, 15942875, 16247291). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Sotos syndrome (PMID: 17565728). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159358). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
